Welcome to Gaia! ::

When the Governess entered the home Seriva tried to hide her shock by lowering her eyes and putting her bloodied hands behind her back. "L-Lady Chiaku.. Um, my mother's wounds had reopened, like Miss Sai had said, and I went to find Cordain at the Inn.. Since he had helped her before, but he was gone so instead Miss Sai and Miss... "Her eyes travelled to Paine, whose name she did not yet know.

"Well.. They're helping her." she added, biting her lower lip lightly.

Chiaku scanned the room again, her mouth set in a strict line.

"What about a doctor?" she asked. "Has anyone fetched the nurse yet?"

However, she remembered that children were present and attempted to soften her tone and facial expression. "Seriva," the governess said quietly, "that's your name, isn't it? Seriva, how was your mother hurt? Did she get hurt last night when we were in the woods?"

If it was a fae attack, Zeejay's life could truly be jeopardized...

Seriva breathe din deeply, "Well... No, she wasn't hurt that night. She was hurt earlier, a small while before we.. We went into the forest." she started, her voice choking up a bit. But as she spoke, it got a bit stronger and steadily moreso, she felt safe with the Governess here now.

"I'm not exactly sure what happened to her... But she came out of the forest with these wounds, arrows sticking from them.. Also the cut on her cheek. I-I think someone did it too her.. But you'd have to ask my mother about that, I'm not sure. That was around the time when my cat Worm showed up too... " Seriva sighed, this was really stressful.

Worm's tail curled merrily as he pranced off torwards Zee's house at a decent pace, mewing a bit to Lienna as if he was trying to talk to her. Weird cat.

Lienna sighed. Her life seemed to be a mess. She didn't have friends, just studied and moved into a strange town with inhabitants she didn't even now. Anyway, now she was following a cat who was trying to correspond with her and she wasn't even able to do this right.

But at the same time this feeling awoke in her, which always accured at work. She loved her job. The young woman tightened her bag and followed the cat inside the house. She knocked on the door and peaked inside carefully afterwards. "Hello ? Does somebody inside need...help ?"

If not, she'd be the idiot. She knew it...

Worm dashe dinto the room and in an elegant leap landed on seriva's shoulders. Seriva gasped and hugged Worm tightly, happy for him to be back.. She needed someone close to her at this dire time. Seriva's smile only widened as the Doctor, or nurse she wasn't so sure, came. "Thank you." she whispered quietly.

Zeejay's eyelids fluttered and she moved fitfully, her body racked with coughs in an attempt to clear the blood pooling in her lungs. As she coughed said blood spattered everywhere.

Sai sighed heavily. She was intensely delighted with the arrival of a real doctor. Turning her attention towards the children Sai noticed Kizzy's appearance for the first time in quite awhile. "Kizzy~! What in the world have you been doing!?" She placed her hands on Kizzy's arms and stared at the handprints that were left behind when she lifted them. "Just what were you thinking young lady?"

"I'm a pancake~!" Kizzy grinned viciously. "Eeeeeat meeeeh!" She wiggled her hands infront of her mother and walked towards her.

She shook her head with another sigh, the young maid turned to the much cleaner Seriva and smiled at the sight of her hugging Worm. "How about we three go outside and I get you both cleaned up? I'm sure the doctor will have your mom fixed up in no time."

Seriva nodded to Sai, "Yes Miss Sai.. But first, let me grab some cloth form upstairs..." Seriva dashed upstiars, Worm draped casually about her shoulders. She reutrned with a few blankets and a towel or two, "Is this enough Miss Doctor?" she asked politely.

Seriva bit her lip and set the cloth beside her mother, leaning down to brush her sweaty black hair from her dimmed eyes. "It'll be fine mommy... you're safe here.." Then she stood and stepped outside, a frown glued unto her face.

Chiaku nodded her head in agreement to Lienna's suggestion.

"Wait!" she called to the children before they left with Sai. "Seriva, can you tell us where there is a bed we can place your mother so she can rest?"
